Taly for a hitter?
 

I was looking for Taly videos on Youtube and found this video. Is he talking about some form of hitting in this video?

(I found it is kinda funny when he said that golf instructors are not gonna like it.:) )

Interesting ideas. I LOVE my Taly, works great with Homer Kelley's hitting principles as well!

Yes Hitting for sure. He's advocating a Push Basic type inline right arm extension which is "a" way, a good way in fact. BUT, best reserved for short shots. See the Minor Basic Strokes. For longer shots you need right arm Fanning as well as the Bending, without it you will miss the UP of Back ,Up and In , Three Dimensional takeaway. Leaving you with Back and In only. Normally an off plane, under plane motion for Pivot strokes.

So he is probably right about instructors not liking it too much and I doubt it would really would take 20 strokes off your score overnight. That would be nice though.

PS If you watch his swing, on his waggle he takes it back way under the plane, less so when actually hitting but he does have to loop it back onto the plane in his downswing to make contact. Basically it sounds simple , it is simple but you cant add a pivot to that right arm Motion without going to far IN as the right shoulder will pull things IN as well. If that works for full shots without looping it back onto the plane, then the whole idea of the plane for golf is out the window.

I do like the Tally though.

You're not the only one, O.B. Check these photos of Jerry Kelly http://www.pgatour.com/players/00/80/75/ from today at the Kapalua Golf Academy in Maui, Hawaii. And yes, Jerry is using Angled Hinging in perfect concert with his Hitting Stroke.

Jim Schuman -- the guy on the left in the blue shirt -- is the Men's Golf Coach at the University of Wisconsin and a long-time LBG friend and 'lurker'. He is also Jerry's swing coach (not to mention brother-in-law!). We connected this morning on the putting green at the Plantation Course prior to Jerry's practice round; then, later today at a special clinic held at Kapalua Golf Academy.

How special was it? First, there was Jerry's masterful presentation of golf's Black Art. Then, the 'refreshments' . . .

I gotta admit, this is the first Golf Clinic I've ever attended that closed with wine, cheese and heavy hors d'oeuvres.

[Guys, stay with the thumbnails for now. My preview is giving me gigantic photos. We've got some serious fix'in to do. For now, right-click Open Link and look at something more presentable. Ben . . . Help!]

sweeeeet!!!!

I hope you have shares in Tally Inc. Lynn, that thing could be the next hoola hoop.

Oh sure, as if I don't get myself into enough trouble with this stuff. Now they're going to get me for insider trading! :) :salut:

Kev, I told you not to tell Martha Stewart to go heavy on Tally Inc.

I cannot recommend the Taly enough. I am usually not a fan of trainings aids because so few of them work. But the Taly works incredibly well. Unfortunately I got away from using it for the past 4 months or so and I'm going to get back to using it now.

The big thing about the Taly for me is that it provides visual help so the golfer can get into the right alignments instead of being a training aid that forceably puts the golfer in the right alignments through some type of restriction.
